The three sportsmen had observed them from a hiding-place making themselves very much at home amongst the huts just before the early winter darkness set in at four o'clock. They had observed them with disgust and perhaps with despair. Late in the night the rash counsels of hunger overcame the dictates of prudence.
At the first volley the lieutenant had been badly wounded, three of the men had fallen, and far out-numbered the six other men, taking the lieutenant, had raced madly for safety in the fort. The smoke hung so thickly in the still, damp air that they got away without trouble all except Ranger Higgins. He had not gone far. That was rash, but plucky.
The officer stationed at the door of his apartment immediately communicated his flight to the consular of Cilicia, who overtook him in the suburbs, and endeavored without success, to dissuade him from prosecuting his rash and dangerous design.
About the middle of June we sailed in a smack bound direct for Leith, and once more I found myself on salt water. I was walking the deck one night, while my wife was below, and thinking of the events of my past life, when the recollection of my rash oath came across me like a thunder-clap in summer, when just before the whole sky overhead has appeared of the purest blue.
Well, a man who doesn't come often began a game of cards and when Mr. Fuller " "Just so," said Dick as quietly as he could. "Jake's rash and not to be trusted when there are cards about; indeed, I expect he's a good deal to blame, but I'm now going to ask your father not to encourage his visits. I've no doubt he'll see the reason for this."
"I'm not going to let him get away in this fashion!" went on the younger lad, excitedly. "He's got to give up that meat, or I'm going to know the reason why." "Don't be rash. Hank Stiger is a bad man to deal with." "Are you going to let him go without doing anything?" demanded Ralph. "I'm sure you wouldn't if it was your deer!" he added, bitterly.
They are in town yes. I haven't seen them." "Then you don't know how they're getting on that pretty creature, with her cleverness, and poor Mrs. Leighton? I was afraid they were venturing on a rash experiment. Do you know where they are?" "In West Eleventh Street somewhere. Miss Leighton is in Mr. Wetmore's class." "I must look them up. Do you know their number?" "Not at the moment.
It would be very rash to claim all that one was entitled to; in other words, one's deserts. You're Mr. Kermode, I believe; you must know my name is Ferguson." Kermode bowed. "What are you going to do with this log?" he asked. "It's to be a door-post in the new church. I wonder if you would be willing to haul it in?" Kermode said that he would be glad to do so.

They were not, like so many others, rash and inconsiderate.
"I know you would!" and Ruth spoke so earnestly that Randal was both touched and startled, fearing he had ventured too far in a mood of unwonted sentiment, born of the romance of the hour and the sweet frankness of his companion. "Then you don't think it would be rash for some sweet woman to take me in hand and make me happy, since fame is a failure?"
